Korban : The Miracle of Slaughtering in Islam

The Miracle of Slaughtering in Islam

=======================

This is a question-answer session with a medical practitioner on the benefits of the Islamic method of slaughtering animals.
- Question: Dr. John, if the veins that are in the front part of the
neck of the animal are cut, what would happen to that animal?

-
Dr. John: Scientifically speaking, when an animal or human has his
veins that are found in the front part of the neck cut, he will faint
immediately. To clarify, he said that if someone was strangled, he
would suffer extreme dizziness and lack of concentration because it is
difficult for the blood to reach the brain, and if the duration of
strangling was longer, he will lose sensation and faint.

-
Question: So, cutting the veins that are in the front part of the neck
of the slaughtered animal and letting the blood flow outside its body
leads to unconsciousness?

- Dr. John: Yes, definitely.

- Question: Does the slaughtered animal feel any pain immediately after having its neck cut?

- Dr. John: Of course not, as it is totally unconscious.

- Question: Then, why does the animal do such spasmodic movements that give the feeling that it is in pain?

- Dr. John: This is because when the veins are cut without breaking the
bones of the slaughtered animal’s neck, which is exactly the case in
the Islamic way of slaughtering, the brain does not receive blood while
the cerebrum is still alive and the neurological system that is at the
back part of the neck is still linked to all the systems of the body.
Thus, the neurological system sends signals to the heart, the muscles,
the intestines and all the cells of the body to send blood to the
cerebrum. This makes all the cells, intestines and muscles of the body
make spasmodic movements to push the blood to the heart which sends the
blood to the brain. However, the blood leaves the animal’s body instead
of going to the brain because the veins of the neck are already cut. The
neurological system continues to send signals and blood leaves the
animal’s body until all the blood flows out. The widespread idea that
animals suffer from pain when slaughtered by this method was
scientifically proven to be wrong as animals faint and totally lose
sensation as soon as the veins are cut.

- Question: Medically
speaking, is it better to leave the blood inside the body of the animal
or let the blood flow out of the body?

- Dr. John: Blood is one
of the most fertile environments where germs grow and it also carries
substances that are harmful for the human body. So, if the blood
remained in the meat directly after the death of the animal, it will be a
fertile environment for germs, in addition to the harmful substances
that are present in it.

- Question: What do you think of the
other ways of slaughtering animals especially the way that is used in
most European countries which is hitting the animal on its head so that
it would faint, then slaughtering it afterwards?

- Dr. John:
This method has dangerous ramifications on the health of humans. This is
because the animal dies slowly when it is hit in this method and this
causes the membrane that lines the large intestines to lose its ability
to retain the bacteria that is in the large intestines. Therefore, the
bacteria penetrates the body of the animal, finds the blood and swims in
it while interacting with it until it spreads throughout the entire
body of the animal. The safest way of eating meat that is free from
blood and bacteria is by getting rid of the blood of the animal and
letting it flow out.
